I also mentioned earlier in the thread about how there are two people Scratch has and we all assumed it was Lizzy with Child but we should carefully consider it's Hannah and Lizzy.Quote:

But yes before it hits Voodoo Lounge I agree that Hannah is still alive and Lizzie will somehow make get the pieces to put some stuff together before Saul and Victor even get to where the Mallers currently are stowed away.
As I have over 3000 posts....it's hard to find a theory I haven't endorsed at one point or another ;)Quote:

I should ammend my previous statement to clarify: I do not endorse 99.9% of the theories contained in the Crackpot thread.Quote:

Firstly, hey! Crackpot has some decent stuff in between all the b.s.!Quote:

I don't know if I said it before, but I liked hearing Kalani as the pilot. Hearing him in command, in his element was sweet.
Still the prick he always was, but for me it is different when you are a prick and correct.
You know that's right.Quote:
micheal is not really into pegs is he? nothing to do, got their own room, hell i'd know what i'd be up to!
Yeah, I saw 28 Days Later. I know that young girls+men+zombie apocalypse=bad news bears.Quote:
For me, the brush off/need for decompression is a lesser sin than asking Pegs to leave in the morning so that no one sees them together. I don't get the impression that Michael means to hurt Pegs. He's being maladroit when he tries to get some time alone. But it seems uncharacteristically cold for him to kick her out of his room.Quote:
Back at the party, Pegs told him she liked him and he told her he couldn't really think of that sort of thing when there was so much going on, but perhaps if there were some downtime later ... Well here we are with plenty of downtime waiting to hear from the authorities at Fort Irwin and he just wants to be alone. I know Pegs can be clingy and drove Riley nuts following her around. But come on, you just slept with her and now you're brushing her off?
And this line of thought leads me to my question: why doesn't Michael want people "waking up and seeing...well, you know?" I've formulated a few ideas but I haven't put my finger on the right one.
Idea #1: Michael's straight up ashamed to be with Pegs.
Everyone in the tower knew that they had a thing (even if it wasn't a sleeping together thing.) Kelly knows for a fact that they got it on. Hope and Datu might not know. And I was going to say that Tanya knows for sure but the way that she kept busting into Michael's room when he was with Pegs seems to indicate that she doesn't know, doesn't care or is horrible with social cues.
Idea #2: Michael's ashamed to be with Pegs now that there's a chance of a "normal life."
Maybe Pegs was okay when there were ~30 people but he's hoping for something better now that the dating pool has expanded. He wants to get some on the regular but doesn't want to ruin his chances with other women by hanging out with Pegs.
Idea #3: Michael's unsure about the base and doesn't want Ft. Irwin to know anything about him until he's sure that the Towerfolk won't be used as meat shields against the zombies.
At this point, Michael seems pretty sure that the base is legit. However, he might be stock piling supplies (like the loader) just in case they need to flee.
Idea #4: Pegs is Michael's weak spot and he doesn't want to expose that.
Pegs is Michael's six. He can't watch it at all times. He's thought of every eventuality: the commander of the base uses her as leverage to get him to do something nefarious, Michael pisses off someone and that person takes it out on Pegs, people say shit to Pegs about being kept. Pegs is vulnerable, he doesn't want others to see her in the sense that he wants to keep her protected. He doesn't mean to be overprotective but if he could lock her in a closet until everything was safe, he'd do it. He has no idea how to keep people safe in a zombie apocalypse. So he's trying everything. Including making her do the walk of shame at oh-dark-thirty.
Idea #5: Michael had a conservative/religious/traditional up bringing and feels bad about premarital sex.
Hahahahaha. Well, it's possible but it might even be less likely than #2.
Idea #6: He doesn't want to become Megs. (Where "Megs" is a portmanteau of Michael and Pegs.)
He doesn't want every "hello" to be followed by, "But where's Pegs?"
Ideas #7: Michael is a robot.
Okay. That was a dumb joke and actually still more likely than #5. What I really mean to say is this: Michael cannot describe his emotions or predict how is actions will impact others. This seems unlikely as he is pretty good at planning (IMHO.)
Idea #8: He thinks they're just friends with benefits.
He doesn't want her to get any ideas about them being in any kind of romantic relationship. Because they're totally not. So, she can sleep with him but they're never going to hold hands or kiss in public.
Idea #9: Do you see how terrible these ideas are? Won't you please lift the veil on this one for me? I know that someone must have the answer. (Also, if you need it, I made a transcript of the conversation between Pegs and Michael. Because of reasons.)
At this point, I've officially put more thought into the Michael/Pegs relationship than Michael has. I'm going to do the walk of shame out of this thread now.
I think you covered all the bases there. Nicely done!Quote:
